Annotation	Demand for long-term care is sometimes referred to as a demographic "time-bomb" and is perceived as an impending financial crisis. How far do such pessimistic views correspond with reality in future policy terms? Adelina Comas-Herrera, Linda Pickard and Raphael Wittenberg from the PSSRU, LSE Health and Social Care at the London School of Economics, and Bleddyn Davies and Robin Darton from the PSSRU, University of Kent, used a long-term care model to examine a range of different scenarios, and found a more complex picture with some grounds for optimism. The discussion paper summarised here is a part of a wider project, funded by the Department of Health (DH), to investigate long-term care finance. (RH).
